The rescheduled pinnacle of the cycling calendar may not have been able to draw crowds to the streets, but plenty will be tuning in from across the globe to see the race come to an end.

Former champions – and British stars – Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas are not taking part in this year's event with Team Ineos.

Froome has spent most of the last year on the treatment table recovering from a horror crash prior to last year's Tour, but had returned to action, albeit in a more tepid manner.

However, their absence hasn't reduced the drama on the roads.

Check out all the details you need to know about the Tour de France in 2020 including dates, teams, riders, the route, stages and past winners.

When did Tour de France 2020 start?

The Tour de France started on Saturday 29th August 2020, roughly two months after it was originally scheduled to take place.

It has been a full-length event, wrapping up in Paris on Sunday 20th September 2020.
